About

Agalychnis callidryas is an arboreal hylid of Central American rainforest and secondary forest. Males reach about 5 cm and females about 7 cm. The back is green, the flanks carry blue or purple and cream bars, the inner thighs are blue, the feet orange and the iris crimson. It is nocturnal; by day it presses flat against a leaf with limbs tucked in, showing only its green back, which prevents both desiccation and detection. Females lay 10-70 eggs on leaves overhanging water and the hatching tadpoles drop straight in; embryos can detect approaching predators and hatch early to escape. Stagnant humid air quickly causes bacterial skin infections, so at least half the lid should be mesh. Once considered difficult because of poor shipping condition, it is easier now that captive-bred frogs dominate the trade.
